Every strategy carries its exact rules, an annotated chart of the setup, the research behind why it should work at all — and the conditions under which you should not take it.

This is the one strategy in the book where the entry is deliberately dull. A moving-average trend rule, nothing clever. What makes it work is that the position size is set so every trade risks the same amount of volatility, not the same number of lots.
Every page in this book so far takes one position and manages it. This one takes a small position and adds to it as the trend pays, so the largest exposure sits on the trade that has already proven itself.
Gold pays nothing. Holding it costs you whatever a safe inflation-protected bond would have paid, so when that real yield rises, gold becomes more expensive to hold, and when it falls, cheaper. The inverse relationship between gold and real yields is the most durable thing anyone has found about the gold price.
Divide the gold price by the silver price and you get a number that traders have watched for a century. When it is historically high, the trade is to sell gold and buy silver; when low, the reverse.
The mechanism has peer-reviewed, FX-specific research behind it.
The mechanism is sound, but at least one step of it is untested.
Practitioner literature only — no published research supports the mechanism.
It rates the mechanism — whether there is published research explaining why the market should behave this way. It does not rate profit. Strong does not mean the trade will work. None of these have been run on our own account, and no page here shows a backtest figure.
One instrument, one timeframe, every rule visible on the chart.
Several conditions have to line up, and execution starts to matter.
Needs an outside data feed, a basket, real order flow, or an unusual tolerance for lumpy losses.
The level describes what it takes to run the strategy, not how well it works. Several Beginner pages are better evidenced than several Professional ones — a basket carry trade is Professional because it needs eight currencies and a swap table, not because it is cleverer than buying a pullback.
Reading the library is free. A plan is what lets you turn one into a robot.
Trading carries risk and most retail accounts lose money. Nothing in this library is financial advice or a recommendation to trade. The charts are illustrations of the rules on constructed candles — they are not records of trades and not backtests.
